Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

Billionaires being unafraid to say things like this publicly is a major indicator of how bad things have gotten
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich.

Still worth that ad read money, folks?

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

The biggest effect I see from people still spending time on X—which many deny or don't even notice—is how it shifts their perception of what's normal. Such as:

Actively anti-trans is speaking like a normal person
Objecting to Nazi symbols turns off the working class
Epstein knew a bunch of Jews
etc
Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and an open white supremacist, has a child's understanding of how government works. He has fired tens of thousands of people and believes all taxation and spending are illegitimate. He thinks his financial assistance to Trump gives him the power to set policy.

Another failure of the Obama era democratic majority. When Obama was elected to his first term, ICE as an agency had existed for only 5 years. Instead we handed over an army of racist hogs to Donald Trump
All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year.

It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

Spanking does not produce good behavior. Authoritarian violence -- and make no mistake, that's what it is when you hit your kid, even if you tell yourself it's "just a swat" -- produces little authoritarians, full of fear & suppressed anger.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"

"Scientific insiders." You mean...scientists? The people who do science and understand it? I'm not saying they're beyond suspicion, but when I look at the US over the past 20 years, I do not have the impression that our major problem is that _scientists_ have too much power.
Utterly psychotic. RFK's "unfounded beliefs and suspicions" are what separate him from legitimate critics of science and public health, he fucking lies all the time!

You can't say "he might have a point" about the parts you agree with and ignore everything else.

its genuinely incredible that the government has been taken over by vandals, thieves, and bald-faced liars and the media is more or less reporting on them like they're normal heads of state
